Stop Needing to Be Right (If You Want Real Connection) | Ep 28

from Create More Intimacy: A Podcast for Men · host Alisa Stoddard

Most men don’t realize how often their need to be right keeps them from the connection they actually want. In this episode, I’ll explain why logic and proof can’t heal emotional pain - and what to do when your wife keeps bringing up something that happened years ago. You’ll learn why she can’t move on until she feels safe again, and how to stop defending and start leading emotionally. In this episode: Why your need to be right often hides a deeper fear of not being respected What to do when she can’t let go of the past How to stay steady instead of defensive when old pain resurfaces What “sitting with her in it” really looks like How emotional leadership - not logic - creates lasting trust Because being right might feel good for a moment, but being understood feels a whole lot better. 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://alisastoddard.com/podcast 💬 Want help figuring this out in your own relationship?
